Definitions

  • One embodiment of the invention works in the following way.
  • To determine if the application is incompatible identifying information from the application is checked against a database containing a list of applications that are currently known to be incompatible. If the name of the application is in the database then a set of attributes are checked to see if that particular version of the application is compatible. If all of the checked attributes match the ones found in the database, the application is determined to be incompatible with the current operating system.
  • FIGS. 6A-C are a sequence of diagrams that illustrate how one actual embodiment of the present invention replaces incompatible function contained within a DLL with the compatible stub function located within the Hook DLL.
  • FIGS. 6A and 6B depict two DLLs associated with an application and one Hook DLL that is used to patch an incompatible application.
  • the import tables 140 , 142 , and 144 depicted in FIGS. 6A-C include a list of functions and function pointers contained within the DLL.
  • the import table may also include references, or pointers, to other functions located in a separate DLL, as indicated by DLL 1 's import table 140 .
